The attitude and commitment to care is modelled by staff and encouraged in the entire community.  Care will become active by:

 

• Ensuring the physical environment is welcoming and meets the needs of students and adults.

• Maintaining a positive, joy-filled and safe culture through the mindful use of words, tone, and body language, and taking advantage of every opportunity to build relationships with everyone in the community.

• Paying attention to children’s emotions and always, especially in discipline, treating people with respect and dignity, working toward reconciliation and helping students resolve problems by doing what is right.

• Taking time and initiating programs to support students’ social needs, teaching them social skills and setting them up for success in their relationships with peers and adults.

• Caring for children’s need for physical activity and healthy nutrition.
